Chester County judge hears Phoenixville eminent domain arguments
“A Chester County judge will mull how she’ll decide in the eminent domain dispute heard Friday between the Phoenixville Area School District and a pair of Meadow Brook Golf Club’s owners.
Common Pleas Court Judge Jacqueline Carroll Cody’s decision on whether the Phoenixville Area School District acted properly in its Nov. 14 decision to acquire the property through eminent domain will likely take at least a week.
“I think (Friday’s hearing) reaffirms my faith in the judicial system,” said the school district’s executive director of operations, Stan Johnson. “I’m confident (Cody) will come up with a fair and balanced decision.”
Johnson and Patricia Young, one of the club’s owners, both were called for testimony by their respective lawyers in the case.”
